Policy for Reproducing Publications
THE MALAYSIAN INSTITUTE OF ACCOUNTANTS
POLICY FOR
REPRODUCING PUBLICATIONS
EFFECTIVE: 21 APRIL 2009
Introduction
-
A
primary objective of the Malaysian Institute of
Accountants (MIA) is to promote and regulate high
quality professional standards, issue guidance and other
publications that enable accountants in Malaysia to
provide services of consistently high quality and in the
public interest. To achieve this objective, MIA strives
to make its publications widely available by (a)
enabling individuals to freely download publications
from its websites, and (b) encouraging members and
associates and others to include links from their own
websites, or print materials, to the publications on MIA
website.
-
This policy statement applies when a MIA member or
regional accountancy organization, standard setter,
regulator or another party (interested party) reproduces
any of the final MIA publications or exposure drafts of
proposed MIA publications. It applies to the
reproduction, of the full text of or extracts from a MIA
publication; and in circumstances where a MIA
publication is used as a basis for another publication.
-
The
purpose of this policy statement is not to restrict
access to MIA publications when the party seeking
permission, and the use of the MIA publications, are
considered appropriate. The information in the
Permission Request (see Appendix) assists MIA in
measuring achievement of the objective noted in
paragraph 1.
